#rn it's the strongest explanation

[firebirdsdaughter]

Sooooo…

… Is no one gonna talk about how the fabric on Kaeya’s shoulder (in his default outfit) looks similar to the cloth tied to Caribert’s arm?

Anyone?

Just me? Okay then.

[humanmorph]

good lird loz fans sometimes. I'm sooo glad I'm not involved there whatsoever beyond looking at art bc wow these people are annoying in a million different ways

[eiilese]

Love the designs and descriptions you did for the straw hats!! I do want to ask, since they all have different roles and skills do they meet the crew at different points in the story? Like, since Robin is the shipwright would she have met the crew at Water 7 or would it still be Alabasta but under different circumstances? Since she’s not an archeologist she wouldn’t have been raised on O’Hara, right?

Just curious to see what your thoughts are😊 - thanks.

thank you so much for the ask!! sorry this took so long to answer it took awhile to gather my ideas. i’m so happy with how well this au thing was received ;u; TY to people who left tags and replies!! i read everything 🫶

here is the original post for role swap! this post has explanations for backstories! i really did try to have drawings to go with everything but i burned out as this month went on so not every character has doodles :(

—

i kept everything mostly the same in terms of when the strawhats meet each person. i didn’t want to change too much to avoid changing important character moments that happen in canon

this isn’t a super heavy rewrite, there’s a lot of backstory to juggle and i’m not equipped to write such an in-depth au rn 😭 but i might make separate posts for arcs like water 7 or wci!! though i kept a lot of backstory the same theres a lot of rewrite potential for those sagas

i hope these are fun to read about nonetheless ^_^ i included some stuff from @flute-of-pan pan and @onethousandsunnies because they left tags on the original post that were cool ideas

nami, vice capt.

not much changes!! instead of forcing her to chart maps, arlong might just have her around as a servant girl. regardless, the deal to buy back cocoyashi village still stands and nami works hard for it

generally i think her selflessness and loyalty to her village makes her fit to be a vice captain. she looks out for people at her own detriment and was willing to take the fall for such much ahhh

in my opinion she’s good vice captain material!! perhaps a cowardly one but still reliable. also a good treasurer for the crew as always

zoro, cook

zoro grew up training to be a swordsman and competes against kuina, but he also has a knack for cooking as a hobby. he’s mostly the same but sanji’s “stuck on a rock in the middle of the ocean with zeff” happens to him instead (flute-of-pan suggested the cook always suffers the fate of starvation)

kuina decides to run away and zoro is roped into her plans. it goes wrong and they get stranded on a rock, eventually arguing and ending up on opposite sides of the rock with the little food they brought

zoro finds out kuina gave him everything they had soon after she stops replying to him. he’s rescued thanks to kuina’s dad, who tracked them down with vivre cards. kuina’s had long since burned up

similar to canon, zoro continues striving to become the world’s strongest after her death. i think this backstory coupled with him eating those stomped riceballs at the very beginning of the story is so….(GESTURE) it’s very reminiscent of sanji’s no-waste-policy which he would absolutely also have

sanji, sniper

germa 66 has a mafia aesthetic now 👍i only have the willpower to draw reiju here she ended up kind of cluttered but i like my vision

sanji’s backstory is mostly the same: he and his siblings are genetically modified to be the perfect soldiers, but he had a kind nature that made him the target of abuse. after reiju helps him escape, he ends up with zeff and worked as a janitor. zeff loses his leg while trying to save sanji in a maritime accident; though they don’t get stranded anywhere, sanji has to be indebted to him somehow

when the baratie is opened, he works as a busser/guard against unruly guests. flute-of-pan mentioned that he could fire the canons of the ship

when the strawhats meet him on the baratie, sanji still gives don krieg’s crew food. i don’t think his kindness around that would disappear just bc he doesn’t have a whole starving incident

usopp, navigator

on top of bluffing about being the leader of a huge pirate army, he would create fake maps and brag to everyone in syrup village (especially kaya) about these places he so evidently visited. kaya loved his drawings even if the places weren’t real

his dream is to create a Real map of the whole world, not a fake map that he makes up out of stories. drafting the real world makes him a brave explorer of the seas, which he also wants to become :)

when the strawhats meet him, they were basically relying on nami’s limited sailing skills to get around. not only do they get the going merry but they have a real, reliable navigator now! AND he’s multitalented B)

chopper, helmsman

from a young age he set his sights on sailing the seas to escape from the isolation he faced on drum island. he would routinely make little boats for himself to escape the island on, failing each time, and hiriluk would always nurse him back to health

instead of studying to be a doctor, chopper has a general desire to be helpful and acted as an assistant to hiriluk’s medical endeavors

both flute-of-pan and onethousandsunnies pitched that chopper studied stuff like ocean currents!! overall he studied the ocean real hard but would never leave the island without hiriluk

hiriluk’s death would glue him to doctor kureha’s side and it isn’t until the strawhats come that he has the courage to embark on a new journey

franky, muscian

bro grew up running around water 7 trying to get people to join his band. tom and iceberg are still his family. his shipbuilding skills don’t go past an amateur level in this au. he would develop a line of dinky guitars (or instruments in general) that also had lasers/canons/confetti in them. his dream is A FRANKY WORLD TOUR 🤞FREE ADMISSION

many of his weaponized instruments littered the shipyard, spandam uses them in his attack

after the whole tom/spandam situation unfolds, iceberg is the one to find and reconstruct franky into a cyborg after getting run over by the sea train. but he won’t implement piano key abs no matter how much franky asks 🙄

the newly formed franky family protect the city and throw unsolicited concerts in the middle of the street B)

robin, shipwright

though she’s not an archeologist, she still grew up on ohara! instead of archeology, she’s a gifted engineer. her devil fruit made her an outcast and her strange, misunderstood inventions did not help her case

when jaguar d saul gets stranded on ohara, robin constructs the raft for him :) the buster call unfolds the same as canon except this time, everyone’s actually not lying when they say robin can’t read poneglyphs! she never learned!! again flute-of-pan had the cool idea that she is wrongly accused. still, she’s pursued and branded as a devil child

she ends up with crocodile, who believes she can read poneglyphs. she takes advantage of this and earns his protection from the government but her ruse is uncovered when she lies to croc about what alabasta’s poneglyph says (girl cannot read that!)

robin dreams of creating a ship that can carry her and the friends she wishes to have. after meeting robin in alabasta she joins the strawhats!!

brook, doctor

he was the doctor of the rumbar pirates. an injured laboon came to like brook after he nursed him back to health!! when yorki became sick from disease brook tried his hardest to cure him, but failed :(

he was doomed to watch his crewmates die to poison that he cannot hope to cure because he himself was also dying. when he came back thru his fruit it was already too late :( the rumbar pirates Do record a song for laboon though this event cannot be edited 🤞

met in thriller bark; ik that’s a long ass time to go without a real doctor on board

by the time they meet brook everyone’s already so battered that he has to go to town on them with gauze and stitches. the company delights him ^_^

jinbei, archeologist

i mentioned this in the first post abt this au but his interest in history sparked thanks to the history of joyboy and fishman island being so intertwined. at some point in his youth, jinbei frequently visited ohara (prior to the buster call) and grew a strong relationship with the scholars there (i’m just assuming they wouldn’t be racists 🤪) he runs into robin a handful of times

he secretly learns how to read poneglyphs here leading up to the buster call. he wasn’t on the island when it happened so he managed to avoid robin’s fate

his story proceeds the same from there with the neptune army, joining fisher tiger, meeting koala, etc…

i enjoy the idea of getting invited to be a warlord by the government while simultaneously being one of the most wanted people in the world for knowing poneglyph secrets

—

also i’m sorry if there are things i forgot about or details that don’t make sense >—>o

the anime’s pacing has ruined my enthusiasm for awhile lol and i’ve consumed a lot of media since catching up!! everyone’s backstories/canon events aren’t too fresh in my memory but i did some researching to remedy it 🫡

SatoSugu angst!

Satoru x Suguru angst fanfic

This is basically the ending of the jjk0 movie but in gojo’s pov + with a little prediction of what gojo said to geto. This is a little inspired by the song “Snow” by Ricky Montgomery…I recommend listening to it while reading this! This is one of my first few fanfics so I’d like some feedback and thoughts :)

This fic doesn’t completely confirm satosugu as a romantic relationship but I think I wrote some implications pretty well

Contains spoilers!!

“Satoru…” Geto’s voice was stifled, yet he still spoke of gojo’s name with such gentleness

Do you have any last words, suguru? Satoru asks, his throat weak and suffocating, so desperately wanting to cry out, to cling on to him, wanting everything back the way it was. He wants to heal him, place a reverse curse technique and stop him from taking his last moments. But alas, he couldn’t, he can’t. Not when he’s the enemy. Not when they’re opposite sides of the same coin. Not when he threatens to harm his students. But he loves him so much…he misses him so much…

He spent the past decade trying to ignore him, but now he has no choice but to watch him leave. Witness as death separates him..now there really is no chance of meeting him, or saying a simple hello…yet he has so much to say for the achingly long time he spent alone.

It’s been about more than a decade since they separated…yet it felt like just yesterday. Almost every night, gojo dreams of geto, reminiscing the days where things weren’t complicated…where it was just laughter and careless banter…and he wakes up and realizes the reality, and that everything happened in such a short amount of time. His best friend left him with little explanation. He had to go through his high school days, graduating without his closest friend. He spends every day wondering what went wrong…how could he have messed up? He’s known as the strongest sorcerer and yet he couldn’t save the person he loved most. Geto was one of the very few people who saw Satoru as Satoru…not the most powerful sorcerer, not some renowned superior, but as Satoru…as a friend, as a person. He wishes that he could turn back time, help his best friend when he needed it most. He so much begs to trade all his renowned power to change everything, to spend more time with his one and only, to laugh carelessly as they so easily used to.

But he snaps out of his thoughts, and turns back to the present moment. And here they are, wasting their chances for the last time, having so many words unspoken.

“No matter what others say, I hate those monkeys..but I never held any hatred for those in jujutsu high school…I just couldn’t wear a heartfelt smile in this world..”Geto chuckles weakly, his eyes tired

Gojo walks closer, sitting near him. He opens his mouth, trying so desperately to say something…there was so much to say yet so little time..his throat stuck, eyes burning with neglected tears. He decides to say something, not wasting this moment, not when they were to separate permanently.

“Thank you.”

He speaks out, voice deep yet cracking. With all that happened, all the words and sentences he could’ve ranted, he said just 2 words. He didn’t regret it though, no not at all. He’s always wanted to say thank you to Geto, he couldn’t even say a proper goodbye after they separated after all.

“At least curse me a little at the end…”

Geto’s eyes widen, soft tears falling on his scarred face. He really did love Geto. He didn’t want to separate from him, but he did what he had to protect him. His lips weakly curled up into a smile, his eyes showing infinite gratitude before he takes his last breath.

I made a quick sketch based on the fanfic :D I wanted to draw in a style that reminded me of manga (im crying sm rn)

[crowfromfoggyforest]

Okay watching season six is torture for my Rumbelle heart. (For context, i'm on s6e4 rn, so i can only talk about their relationship until that point.) Most importantly, i've always kept defending them, but now... i'm starting to think: How can they possibly end up together after this? Are the writers actually destroying Rumbelle like people have said all along? Is S6 just a retcon of their previous development?

But you know me, i'm always trying to find an in-universe explanation. And i think i found one that at least partly explains what's happening:

The baby is the worst thing that could have happened to Rumple and Belle.

Hear me out. I know the baby sounds like good news for them at first - a chance to start over as a family. But in reality, it just brings out the worst in both of them. Well, not objectively the worst, but traits that stop them from being together.

Aside from fear, Rumple's biggest motive has always been to protect his loved ones. That can lead him to doing the wrong thing because he would do anything to protect them. And with that baby on the way, his protectiveness is only going up. When he lived with his first son, he ruined their lives, so now he wants to be a better father for his second child. Although he loves Belle, Bae / his children have almost been the most important to him, probably because his own parents left him. So in summary, more than ever, he's doing everything to protect Belle and their baby - even if that means harming others or acting against Belle's wishes.

Belle, on the other hand, has been trying to put herself and her own feelings and needs first. Before that, she has tried to love Rumple despite everything, but now she's come to realise that - because of his trauma, and because he won't ever become a good person -, he has often ended up causing her harm, and she's still hurt by that. So even before the baby, she had decided to get away from him at least for some time, for her own sake. And now there's the baby. And like Rumple, like any mother, she would do anything to protect it. So she has to ask herself if having Rumple in their life is really the safest thing for them. Now, if nothing else had happened, she would have maybe come to the conclusion that she needed Rumple so he could protect them. But then there's Gideon disguised as Morpheus, visiting her in a dream and convincing her that because he would do anything to protect them, he will only cause them harm again. He speaks directly to her fears and wounds. So her still being hurt by everything Rumple has done and her wanting to protect her child are enhanced by what her unborn child tells her, leading he to a drastic conclusion that she maybe wouldn't have come to otherwise: She needs to keep herself and their baby away from Rumple.

So these two things - Rumple wanting to protect their child and Belle wanting to stay away from Rumple - clash in s6e4 and make each other worse. Especially because Rumple's protectiveness actually almost kills Belle and the baby, confirming her fears. With their strongest motives - both seperately being understandable - being so contradictory rn, they can't be together if there isn't a major change.

So my answer to the questions i mentioned above is: What's happening isn't bad character writing or a retcon, it actually makes sense. I'm still wondering how the writers will fix their relationship tho.

[squashonesquashtwosquashthree]

hi hello welcome to ivys thoughts on jjk characters and their corresponding F1 teams i realized i have a lot of thoughts about it cause i sent krish like 5 messages in a row anyways. yulicechan on insta has really cool art as gojo and geto as ferrari and merc drivers respectively which is where the brainworms are coming from. *EDIT: ARANSMIND HAS REALLY COOL F1 JJK CROSSOVER ART TOO ESP RED BULL TOJI*

anyways, tl;dr this would be my grid:

red bull: gojo, toji

toro rosso: yuuta, yuuji

ferrari: sukuna, geto

mclaren: hakari, meimei

mercedes: kenjaku, ??

aston martin: nanami, nobara

alpine/renault: maki, mai

williams: megumi, ??

sauber: inumaki, ??

haas: ??, ??

very sorry this is unedited and i wrote this in 2 stints while at work. also i wanna say i know just enough about jjk and f1 to have Opinions but am still essentially going off of vibes. anyways. thoughts/explanations under the cut.

i kinda agree with gojo as a ferrari driver even disregarding the past like. decade. cause they’ve got so much power + pull regardless of if they’re at the top of the standings and also ferrari is The recognizable team the way gojo is The recognizable character HOWEVER i think he better fits the vibe of red bull especially since he’s like. Thee young prodigy (seb vibes). like they put this kid in a rocket ship. i can see him multi 21-ing someone. WHICH IS WHY i think toji would be his teammate. red bull has the vibe of being more willing to accept risk and bet on untraditional designs/drivers/etc which fits tojis no cursed energy thing cause as long as he wins nothing else matters. also the 2 as teammates is def rancid red bull vibes heart emoji.

i also think these 2 are most analogous to red bull cause gojos birth leads to the increased presence of curses, red bulls dominance caused the other teams to step up to an unpredictable degree etc etc. so short term presence in the grand scheme of things but Big big influence.

and then speaking of influence and presence sukuna would be ferrari. u can’t ever really count ferrari out and the threat of sukuna is always there,, lurking,, ( also the everybody is a ferrari fan. everyone (we, the fans) grudgingly fucks w sukuna) i think also the FIAs historical ties to ferrari 🤝 the author liking sukuna the most.

kenjaku would be ferrari or mercedes, both for influence/power/prestige reasons, i think he might be more analogous to mercedes cause even though they have a long term presence in formula one the current team is fairly new?? kenjaku too while being functionally immortal and one of Thee threats is also in this iteration a fairly new player even though he’s been influencing events throughout the set up of the story.

geto i think i see equally in mclaren and ferrari?? like the weight of the history of the team + some historical underhand-ness. i think ferrari has more pr training/makes sure their drivers + the team as a whole has more of an image so perhaps ferrari fits better.

meimei mclaren?? but in the sense of like. money money money the way mclaren is kinda winning the sponsor game rn. also i can see her happily being a 2nd driver as long as she gets the big bucks. but i can Also see her as aston martin in the sense that they’ve been paying big bucks to poach personell from other teams which is both v smart And money centric which fits meimei (i’m ignoring her incest thing)

hakari mclaren as well, he’s very independent but also kinda burdened with being one of the strongest but not the same way yuuta is. i think he would be the young talent mclaren bets on (always bet on hakari lmao)

maki would be renault (not alpine) in the sense of being the underdog wildcard champion, young and upcoming. (would definitely say the alonso braking thing) However i can also see her as ferrari or mclaren due to legacy of her clan.

yuuta would be. in my mind. a red bull driver for Sure. so stick that boy in toro rosso/alpha tauri/vcarb. no only is he untraditional red bull vibes but he would Also be down to be like 3rd driver to gojos 1st driver championship contention.

for the same reasons i would stick yuuji in toro rosso/alpha tauri/vcarb also every team dynamic so far has been kinda awful. but yuuji and yuuta are the the most loyal of the students to gojo as well so being red bull b team makes sense, they have the potential to move up to red bull main team (yuuta gojo body swap) etc etc.

nanami to me is analogous to aston martin seb in the sense that he’s like 3 seconds from retirement but still set on developing a team and scoring podiums

nobara is pretty damn independent and also remarkably (compared to the other characters) unbeholden to the pressures of legacy/clan/being the strongest so u have to protect your peers from dying so perhaps Also aston martin?? i think she would be an underdog championship contender and for a hot minute last year thats where aston was at (as much as anyone could be championship contenders last year)

ok hear me out mai as the other renault driver, would equally cause rancid team vibes And help her sister towards the championship. i think it would also make sense towards her following maki into becoming a sorcerer, i think she would be talented enough and willing to put enough work into become a driver but wouldn’t really have championship ambitions even though outwardly she wants to win over maki.

megumi i would put either at williams or mercedes in the sense of being a mercedes young driver but getting experience at williams, Or he’s up against kenjaku in a sort of nico rosberg v schumacher kinda way. hm. i’m putting him in williams to suffer (mild hate to williams, i am unfortunately w williams fan)

sauber has been so under the radar in the last couple years that i don’t have many thoughts. i think they should have an experienced character and a younger character given the past couple of teammate pair ups. i think inumaki would be a sauber driver in the same vein as leclerc being at sauber essentially on hold for a ferrari seat. i don’t think he would end up at ferrari given he’s a supporting character but i think it would make sense given his unique power + big clan. for the other set ive got minimal thoughts so far. maybe hiraguma??

and then here’s my unfinished thoughts:

haas doesn’t have much of an established vibe yet given they’re so young?? i’m gonna characterize the team as young and willing to send it™️ to scrape and get points. in that vein i would say todo except i think it would be funny if todo was megumis teammate. idk power level wise i think todo might make sense as the other merc driver?? he both doesn’t care but also deeply cares about the team but only depending on who he’s paired with so really he would be the perfect second driver to yuuji but in the interim would not give a shit about supporting his teammate.

but beyond that???? no other thoughts at the moment

[thwackk]

WHAT are your halbarry headcanons inquiring minds (me) want 2 know

HEE HEE

- (little) wally made them both play minecraft with him once and hal sucked so bad at it and barry got nauseous looking at the screen and wally just kept laughing and killing them both and saying they both sucked at this game as if they weren’t playing it for the first time ever

- in mariokart hal mains princess peach because she looks like barry and he thinks it’s funny. barry is not as amused by this, he mains daisy in retaliation

- hal has tried MANY times to get barry drunk and continues to try to this day. the only time it worked was at an alien bar with the strongest alien alcohol ever because of course only something off world could actually get him buzzed. barry is a happy drunk btw

- uhhmmm. im trying to remember some… OH hal being obsessed with barry’s lichtenberg scars and always wanting to touch them is the most self indulgent hc i have and im in love with it idc idc

- whenever hal’s off world barry of course gets rlly sad and misses him dearly and vice versa, whenever hal’s in close enough range they will call each other and talk for hours and hours giggling and kicking their feet abt just anything at all as best friends do

- uhmmm wally and his gay uncles. thats it, it’s not really a headcanon, i just think abt wally bonding with his uncles alot, it’s the ultimate source of joy for me

thats all i can think of rn that aren’t super long and require detailed explanation

[gojosbf]

I agree with the anon and you. It really is getting frustrating.

My gripe with Gege’s writing started after how he removed Mahito from the situation. I wanted Mahito to have some payback atleast. Junpei, Nanami, the countless people in Shibuya, Nobara and after all that the conclusion Mahito gets is absorption?

If Gege wanted Gojo out of the picture, he already had the setup with Gojo sealed. Atleast Gojo’s death should’ve had some meaning if he was going to go. Mutually assured destruction would have been nice with the last purple that Gojo fired.

Also how is it that it has been a month since the squad was prepping for the fight with Sukuna and Choso never once brought up Sukuna’s abilities up and only brought it up during the fight? Like how is there no communication at all among the protagonists? How did they even let Sukuna go from 15 fingers to 19 fingers. That seemed like the most stupid thing to do. A lot of things did not make sense and is very inconsistent with the way characters have been behaving.

If the idea is to get the next gen stronger, then Gege did a terrible job in it (except for Maki) because he had time to power creep Yuji (who is supposed to be the MC btw). Yuji has been irrelevant in any battle and almost always had someone pull him out of the mess.

And what about the part that only a six eyed user can take on Kenjaku? Without Gojo, how is that supposed to happen? Wasn’t that one of the reasons why Kenjaku had Gojo sealed out of the many?

Right now all of these 1 vs 1 fights with Sukuna just feels like Sukuna just flexing his muscles.

oh you don't know i was LIVID when i read about mahito's death like he had to go? okay then let one of our mcs have it, i HATED it.

i never thought about that ending but now that you say it YEAH i would have preferred that a thousand times over this kind of death, that would actually serve a purpose and push the plot forward. I really am trying to wrap my head around on how gege is planning to explain all of this because if gojo couldn't defeat sukuna in his suppressed form how is our cast (who are supposedly weaker than him) meant to take him down (even if we consider the damages gojo dealt on him, which mind you he is recovering from seemingly easily). As for the never having to discussion of sukuna's ability I do think i can explain that because

1. they were very much betting on gojo to take him on

2. there are many techniques sukuna adopted, enhanced and copied (from gojo) just by watching it for the first time during that fight (for example using of the spent ct as rct)

3. since it was the war between the strongest, we experienced things which were considered impossible (the back to back domain expansion part of the fight, which was if i remember correct was thrice), now they did not know this was possible before but saw it happen in Shinjuku so that's why they're worried.

though i majorly agree with sukuna fights being muscle (and also brain on his part let's give a bit credit for that) flexing rn, we'll have to agree that his rise up to power makes sense (what doesn't make sense to me is how gege mentioned that him and gojo were both equal and then ended gojo with excuse of sukuna wasn't going all out)

oh and i really agree with the terrible job in power creep portrayal, i mean yes there has been a massive increase in yuuji (since he was deemed close to grade 1 in shibuya and after that he kept growing plus let's not forget his culling game fights) the only explanation i can think of is either gege thinks it should be obvious enough to us that he's now clearly above grade 1 sorcerer so he did not bother mentioning it or he has trick up his sleeve (again questionable). As for kenjaku oohh boy we don't have where he is what is he planning who will he face on, thinking who'll now take on kenny and sukuna gives me headache

all in all there are explanations for plot devices but they only work for the cursed spirits, as for our main cast it's just a loss after loss, death after death which is causing a massive shift in fandom and our questioning of gege's so called not so generic shonen manga story and rightfully so

upd4te

me: yeah im gonna revamp the theme maybe thatll make me want to go back to pokemon ::]

me now: me now: ah.

ok, so, dont worry, im not gonna abandon this blog. i am, however, going to change it. as much as i love this community and have had a great time here, i do not control the hyperfixation, and i think instead of fighting it, im going to come up with a new solution for it.

technically, ive HAD a solution for it for a very long time- that solution being the very character i rp as on this blog now. moss is not confined to any one world, nor even to the same flow of time. that allows my brain to jump around and do whatever the got darn heck it wants to, because i can throw my little guy / self insert / persona / myself into as many worlds and situations as i want, and nobody can tell me im wrong. well, they can, but they can also suck my

anyways.

if you were following me for pokemon irl stuff, feel free to unfollow, i wont be upset. i will still do some pokemon stuff from time to time (as well as a lil in-character transition/explanation of the blog change), but tbh i doubt its gonna be for a while. i AM going to do a bunch of silly interdimensional meta multiverse bullshit, because the undertale fandom (among others, but that was my first and tbh strongest fandom, so) changed me, and i am trying to learn to embrace what makes me happy again, even if it is Cringe(tm).

i dont really have a proper story planned out per se, so its not gonna be super coherent all the time.. altho tbh i never really did, so ig thats not gonna change much :skykid_giggle: itll mostly just follow moss thru whatever they happen to be goin thru! which will usually be whatever i happen to b thinkin of, so.. ye! gonna b a bit.... odd.

so uh.. yeah. expect a theme change, prolly just back to the default tungle theme cuz im lazy rn, and expect a few posts where moss explains whats happening. or dont, and if you're unfollowing, i hope you enjoyed the ride! stay safe have fun ilu ::3

oh, one more thing. since i will no longer be confining this blog to one world (and tbh it had long since left the old chateau) i will also be changing the blog's NAME. that will be an in-character post, so dont worry too much, and im also gonna add that to my pinned, which.... also needs updating, actually. guess we're gonna be under construction for a while, huh. ....anyway.

if you do decide to stick around.... enjoy!

[averageundertaleblog]

i kinda had this empty account since 2019 and never did anything with it but now im just gonna use this to talk about my undertale aus and stuff, even if people don't really get to see any of this it's still cool to log my stuff

anyways uhh lemme just list my aus rq and give them each a short explanation

Dusttale: A Different Approach

- Basically a combination of Something New & Dusttale, the player finishes a genocide route and wants to take a different approach to the game. They rewrite and alter majority of the game's code until they managed to control Sans and play as him, however Sans is still conscious and becomes the narrator instead of Chara. The player attempts to do a pacifist route but Frisk was seen moving around and basically starts doing a genocide route on their own, oooooo. Spooky. So the player decided that the best course of action was to kill everyone and become stronger while also preventing Frisk to get any more LV.

Storyshift: A Tale Amongst Legends

- Several neutral routes takes place and Chara gets pissed off so they meet Shifty at around Waterfall and start battling. Eventually Chara gets tired of Shifty trying to toy with their world so they attempt to reset but Shifty also tries to as well. Causing a massive collision between the two resets and changed their world drastically, Asriel now has mental breakdowns, King Sans is over 10 feet tall now, and the barrier never existed in the first place, basically everyone became different whether it was little or significant. Chara couldn't find Shifty anywhere so they just accepted this changed world of theirs and lived their life as normal, until a blond "drama queen" was brought into the story.

(This AU is actually my friend's instead of mine but I kinda work like the co-owner and writer of it so eh, plus my friend said it was cool to talk about it here so here we are)

OVERTURN

- Story is still WIP but basically the barrier was shattered long ago thanks to W.D Gaster Skeleton and the rest of his team and monsterkind decided to keep living in Mount Ebott. Due to this, the seven previous children weren't killed and instead taken cared of. They're also kind-of in another war in some way idk me and my pals have to think about that.

(Recently made AU me and my two best friends are cooking up rn, kinda inspired by EPICTALE)

A DIFFERENT TALE

- Basically an AU where me and my friend's OCs were just self-inserted into the UNDERTALE universe in a way. A bunch of races had a world war and humanity won, the humans locked the war prisoners and experimented on some of them and treated them very harshly, studying them into getting more power. However this formed an uprising and created an entire united army known as the Resistance, some humans joined this army while the rest of humanity stayed together and fought against the Resistance in this second war. Humanity once again won and sent their strongest "heroes" to banish the Resistance army into a pocket dimension, which was basically an island on a neverending ocean.

yeah uhh you can criticize or whatever idrc im just showing off because i can lol, maybe if i get enough followers i can do some ask blog thingy within one of my aus, that would be nice

[sewerpalette]

I headcanon bart as autistic personally, as is a popular fan head-canon. That’s probably my strongest one.

I don’t think the architects have a concept of gender the way humans do since they’re all just data at the end of the day so I headcanon AL-AN as non-binary or gender queer in some way, also as either Aro/Ace or gay. Aaand very much autism.

Ryley im not sure about but definitely bisexual, makes my gaydar go off in some way, I just don’t know which.

Robin is either a bi ace spec or aro/ace spec for me. Can also see her as having adhd.

Marg I originally thought was very must aspd-coded, wich is technically on the neurodiversity spectrum, but in recent times I’ve seen more people say she’s kinda autistic and I can definitely get behind that aswell. Either very gay or very straight, no in between.

With the Aurora survivors I don’t have that much because, well, the game doesn’t give us a lot of content about them lol.

But always joked with friends / mutuals about keen being in love with Hollister because of his more than reasonable response to watching (or hearing I guess) his captain go under to try and save the rest of their crew; do I believe that? No, but do I believe he’s into men? Maybe, goes for both of them honestly; I can see it.

Yu and Berkeley are very bisexual, no explanation needed.

Also Avery, not from the Aurora but he’s making my gaydar go off aswell.

I’m gonna be honest I care very little about the alterrans from below zero so there’s nothing solid there, but I can see them all being very much homosexual.

When it comes to the mercury we actually have more content, I hc their captain as lesbian and everybody else idrk, most of them bi probably, except for Yasmine and Stefanos, they’re definitely straight.

Elliot I think would first of all get along very well with Bart and second of all, autism.

The sea emperor is confirmed asexual so there’s that, if you wanna consider her a character.

I prob forgot some that I can’t think of rn but I’ll probably follow up on those one day.

underrated canon subnautica lore i think about all the time:

-marguerit fist-fought like 4 stalkers and ripped their teeth out of their mouths. she did this to build bart a cool window. i feel like this should be talked about more because she ONLY did this to build bart a cool window. she fought a group of stalkers for several hours. to build a glorified window for someone she consistently claimed she didn't care about.

-every iteration of bart thinks marguerit is super badass, and even literally says she's badass in one of his original logs

-alterra has knowledge on paul torgal's possible half-children?? and they put this uncomfirmed drama in a missing persons report???

-captain hollister's nickname was hot dog hollister

-relationships have contracts at alterra and people are treated like products that you can choose. or at the very least this is a somewhat popular ideology??

-kharra symptoms include typical flu symptoms, and also aggression! maybe a reason why the degasi never quite worked out their differences?

-kharra has also has a confirmed death count of 143 BILLION. thats ONLY confirmed deaths. the number is undoubtedly higher.

[daikonism]

i know thistle got thistled real bad and is a desire-less husk rn, but i find it so sad that he quite literally buried himself in those living paintings in order to re-live those precious moments with delgal again. there is no heterosexual explanation for this. denial is the strongest emotion.

I’ve waited for a while until ISWM has fully come out and people have had their time to go through it and find all the lore, and now I’m gonna post this because THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN

First ISWM b/c hyperfixation is real strong rn:

One More Time by Nine Aetharia

If you have not listened to this, you NEED to. It incorporates so much of ISWM pt. 1 into the lyrics and it’s a great vibe. Listening back to it after pt. 2, it’s still so fitting, and I’m surprised how it lends itself to pt. 2 before it came out. Also the art in it is very neat!!

Now onto Nine Aetharia’s huge project for Who Killed Markiplier?.

WHO KILLED MARKIPLIER: A VOCALOID MUSICAL

I can’t stress enough that this is such great work. First with the art, they did such a wonderful job incorporating the vocaloids’ designs and the WKM characters’ designs to make something a little more their own, while keep them easily identifiable. Vocaloids are hard to work with, and while the voices in the musical can be faint and unclear sometimes, the harmonies are great and solos are beautiful! The backing tracks, the changes in tone, it’s just so *chef’s kiss*.

The lyrics are OUTSTANDING, and in my opinion the strongest part of this two hour delight. Every song that is for a character is strong, and I think they did impressive work making each one fitting with WKM’s story. Speaking of the main story, they also connect a lot of what is canon and pose an interesting theory/explanation for what happened in the Manor and why things came out the way they did.

TLDR: Please go watch the italicized videos I linked to. They’re great works of Markiplier fan songs/art, and the creator (Nine Aetharia) deserves so much attention for their work!

ngl I think some of the recent discourse about the wilbur ending could've been alleviated if we'd stopped putting cc!wilbur and Tommy on pedestals as writers. they're good at it and there were factors out of their control, yes, and they definitely are two of the best if not THE best writers on the dsmp. But they were not perfect before by any means and I have many examples of that, but rn I just feel this defensiveness of their writing that's counter to open critique and discussion

I genuinely don't think people disliking the finale is discourse unless you turn it into someone thinking everyone should hate it or love it. You either liked it or you didn't. I have never been in a fandom in my life where a series or even a season finale is universally loved. On top of the fact that it took him so long get it done (which, again, considering one of his closest friends died two months ago isn't really something I can fault him for on a meta level, but we do have to acknowledge it hurt the story), fandom had spent too long writing and daydreaming about their own perfect endings for c!Crime.

I still hold, despite the massive flaws in Wilbur's last arc, he and Tommy are the strongest writers on the dsmp and the defensiveness comes from the fact that, let's be real, their weakest stories are still some of the best on the server. Wilbur had some unfortunate issues with this arc with both his writing and the fact that this arc ended up being the "meat" of a story where it was originally only supposed to be an epilogue. I also think trying to make it feel episodic without thought to how there's nothing else going on in the server was shortsighted on his part because it led to a lo of empty repetitiveness in the stream formats. I mean, I enjoyed the finale a great deal and I have also enjoyed critiquing it too. I think "Wilbur's a great roleplayer and writer" and "this arc was flawed" are two statements that can coexist.

But he still delivered a character arc that started with a clear goal in mind, consistently reminded the audience of that goal, and tried to be funny in a way to pay roots to his own origins on the server. Like, that first stream of this arc set up that he was scared of never being a better person and never getting a second chance, that he thought everyone would want him gone, and had that moment of him looking at Tommy and actively clinging to Tommy instead of apologizing. Then the finale delivered on him admitting that he was withholding apologies and explanation from Tommy out of that fear and hearing someone say I want you to stay. And him changing course to say, sure, one day I will. It may have been a bumpy path, and missing some pieces I really think it needed, but it did the job.

So anyway, I think there's always going to be some defensiveness because there's...segments... of fandom that wait for any sort of stumble on Wilbur's part on the server to jump in and yell about how their fave's 20 unfinished plot lines are better. But most of the Wilbur fans I've seen who liked the stream have also been pretty damn open to talking about its flaws. Mostly I've just seen people buck against wanting to talk about it with anyone who goes "If you liked it, great, but I didn't see anything good in it and I can't see why you did enjoy it."

Woo this got long. Basically, yeah, people are going to get defensive. Hell look at the people I get in my inbox every time I even suggest crit of anyone's storyline. But, overall, I've seen a lot of great honest crit from people who still enjoyed all of, or at least a good chunk, of the finale.

Hey, if you're still doing the matchup event!

im a perfectionist with an abrasive attitude, super blunt communication style, and brash&crude sense of humour. i like to play a more mellow part in group interactions tho, since i dont like being the center of attention cuz anxiety lol. i come off as a little rude sometimes with the way i refuse to mince words but im always fair and i never say things without explaining my logic and reasoning for words/decisions/actions. im not shy by any means but my social anxiety kinda makes me an asshole so i try to be more reserved than outgoing. also im 150cm, dark 3c hair, dark eyes, olive skin, full lips, and curvy.

favourite song rn: the predatory wasp of the palisades are out to get us by sufjan stevens

*whispering* kinks: being physically dominated, degredation (receiving&giving), being restrained, and general predator/prey stuff

Match-up Event Masterlist

I match you with...

𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐤𝐬!

Don't worry about your social anxiety, or about being the center of the attention. Although you will be the center of his, he'll gladly perform using his perfect, golden hero persona in public so that you can relax while everyone coos at him rather than you. If group interactions make you uncomfortable, he'll end them as soon as they start using his handsome grin and heavy charisma, all while discreetly holding your hand in his, thumb gently caressing yours, ever the reassuring hero for you. He doesn't mind the harsher side of your personality, accepts it with a smile instead and nods at every one of your explanations. He even goes as far as calling you his kitten for it; cute, so tiny next to him, and yet, gifted with sharp claws and devastating fangs. He's a hawk, though, a predator that would feast on such a tiny feline, so he relishes in that (adorable, according to him) side of your personality instead of fearing it.

He loves taking you flying, tumbling towards the sky until the two of you feel like you're drowning in the infinite sea of stars that stretches above the city. He carries you like he would carry his bride (hoping that someday, he'll be able to call you exactly that), and keeps his eyes on you the whole time, fascinated by the little sparkles lighting in your irises as you look at the world from above. Sometimes, you fall asleep in his arms as he flies, and he'll quietly hum your favorite songs as a lullaby so that you feel the most peaceful in his embrace.

As previously stated, Hawks is a predator. His instincts are the strongest when he takes you to bed, when he sees your naked form, when you lay underneath him, such a cute little prey ready to be feasted on. He doesn't leave you any control, because that's not in his nature and, of course, because you enjoy it that way, too. He'll use ropes, handcuffs, even his feathers sometimes to restrain you so that he can take what he's owed after the thrilling chase that was seducing you into letting him have you. Such an adorable little prey, he'll coo, breath warm against your skin as he whispers in your ear. You'll give me what I want, wont you? Then, as he leans even lower towards you, sharp canines nipping at your neck, he'll tell you, threat heavy in his voice, lustful cruelty dripping from his words: "I'll devour you whole."
